The recent decision by the FCC to classify foreign-made drones, particularly those from DJI, as national security threats represents a significant shift for the drone industry. This action effectively prohibits the future sale of these foreign drones in the United States.
In a discussion on the GeekWire Podcast, Blake Resnick from Brinc, a company based in Seattle that specializes in public safety drones, shared insights on how this policy may create new economic prospects for the Pacific Northwest. His advocacy played a role in prompting the regulatory change.
Additionally, the podcast features a personal story from Todd, who reflects on his experience retrofitting his 2007 Toyota Camry with a modern infotainment system, diverging from advice given by John.
